OFFERING SCHEDULE FOR APRIL 2020
April 5th A.M. – Palm Sunday – Benevolence: Your contribution to Benevolence at Mountainview provides assistance for the needs of our church family and the local community. These include basic needs such as food, clothing, housing and schooling. A church and community of our size has many varied needs within it. Please continue to support our ministry of benevolence.
April 10th @ 7P.M. – Good Friday Tenebrae Service A.M. – Grimsby Life Centre is a ministry that is committed to providing help for the physical, social, and mental well being of those in crisis. This loving care is demonstrated through on-going counseling, support and care. All services are free and confidential and we depend solely on donations from individuals, churches, businesses, and fund-raising events. Thank-you for your support and prayers.
April 12th A.M. – Easter Sunday – Resonate Global Mission is continuing their partnership with churches in both Canada and the United States to plant churches, do campus ministry, train and equip pastors, and develop future leaders. They continue to send missionaries overseas, proclaiming the Gospel, and forging lasting partnerships. In addition to this ongoing work, they are tackling new opportunities for ministry. Here in North America, we need experience in international ministry to help churches effectively reach across cultural barriers and forge partnerships within new communities of faith. In other nations, we need expertise in church planting and campus ministry to help people in every nation discover God’s plan for their church, community, and life. We all have a calling; we all have a voice. This agency is equipping the Christian Reformed Church for that calling—for living and sharing the good news, so that it goes out in every direction like an expanding, amplifying sound. With your prayers and financial support, we will be able to equip all our churches for ministry and join together with what God is already doing around the world.

Your donations help us to mentor and nurture girls in our church and surrounding community, in their walk with God.
